After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics pulled away from the Heat 153-135. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
